The majority of people I know, and even just see on a daily basis all seem to have one thing in common, which is they are drinking coffee. That being said, imagine a world where coffee was not a thing. Would college students constantly be falling asleep in class left and right? Would being a “basic bitch” still exist?
It seems that in the minds of many individuals today, coffee has gone from a want to a need for thriving in society. From getting that extra boost of energy to complete a paper for college, to depending on this brown, watery drink to wake us up after getting three hours of sleep. Coffee seems to be the savior for many of life’s problems. Also, with coffee, the well known term of being a so called, “basic bitch” has risen. This term has found its relation to coffee, most likely due to it seeming like all girls, and even guys for that matter, (because I have honestly seen numerous guys who are more basic, and even more bitchy than I ever am) constantly have a coffee in their hand. It is evident that individuals of today’s society are obsessed with coffee. So, imagine if coffee did not exist. Would “America Runs on Dunkin,”(Dunkin Donuts), change to “America Runs on Tea” ? Would we have more energy because relying on coffee would not be possible? Caffeine crashes and addiction caused by coffee would not be a thing, so I would think that people would actually be better off physically and mentally. They would not be depending on this substance anymore. Instead, people would be waking up naturally instead of relying on coffee to do so for them.
Overall, coffee is amazing, delicious, and helpful in many ways, but just imagine what people would do if coffee did not exist. Everything is good in moderation, except hardcore drugs that is, but constantly depending on coffee to do things such as waking up, or preventing oneself from falling asleep in class is definitely not healthy for both one’s mind and body.
